The median lost 85% of its organic traffic. Some lost almost everything. However, 21% grew. My talk is about what they had in common and how you can replicate the success with your content strategy. I'll share my findings so you can prepare for the next era of search and discoverability.

Would you trust an AI to buy a $1M domain? That question stopped a room full of domain investors, registrars, hosters, and IP lawyers at Domain Summit Europe in Kempten, Germany. Read the full Event Recap here: danielstanica.com/posts/domain...

Bending Spoons is a successful Italian company I watch closely, as they have an interesting business model: acquiring businesses that have lost their shine, abruptly restructuring them, and keeping them long-term Do you or do you consider replicating their business model?

TLDR: If you do SEO, AI Visibility, Content, or Personal/Company Branding, go set your social media profiles in GSC today and measure what content gets discovered and, most importantly, how. Have you checked your platform properties yet? Anything surprising in your queries?

Honored to be a Featured Attendee at Domain Summit Europe 2026, on 17–18 August, in Kempten, Germany 🇩🇪 The team's write-up made me smile: "Some people study traffic. Daniel Stanica studies why it moves." I'll take that! If you're in domains, digital assets, or SEO and AI Visibility, let's talk. 🚀

The Great Blogging Collapse: What Happened to 100 Successful Blogs? [Study] | DanielStanica.com —

Daniel Stanica ✅ @danielstanica.com · 29/06/2026
So, to answer the question of whether you should start a blog in 2026, I would say you should do it only if you can produce high-quality, firsthand experience content that cannot be summarized by AI. Don't treat SEO traffic as the main source of traffic; treat it as one channel in your traffic mix.

Daniel Stanica ✅ @danielstanica.com · 29/06/2026
The 21% of blogs that continued to grow all had a few things in common: 🟢 Firsthand experience 🟢 Owned & Other Rented Audiences 🟢 Real product 🟢 Branded Searches

Should you start or maintain a blog in 2026? Last week, I ran a study on 100 blogs and compared their total traffic and SEO traffic in 2022 and 2026. The results are shocking: 🟥 49% lost 80%+ of their traffic 🟥 21% continued to grow 🟥 11% lost traffic moderately (-50% to -79%)

I revisited 100 #blogging success stories from the golden age of #SEO. Most lost the majority of their Google #traffic, while only 21 continued to grow. This research below uncovers the common traits of the survivors and why the blog-as-a-business model is dead. danielstanica.com/posts/Great-...

AI search doesn't work like Google, which indexes everything. LLMs weight structured, owned, crawlable content. A profile on someone else's platform is noise while a personal site with clear entity signals is a trusted source. Check the podcast with Ania from CMSConf. Link in comms

𝟲. WordPress is growing up. The WP & Agencies Summit on Day 1 made one thing clear: this ecosystem has moved well beyond small sites and shared hosting. Managed hosting, enterprise infrastructure, and integrated agency services are where the conversation is now.

Daniel Stanica ✅ @danielstanica.com · 28/03/2026
𝟱. AI Visibility is the next frontier for digital businesses. Brands are starting to ask "do I exist in AI-generated answers?" LLM discoverability is becoming a real business concern, and I’ve already tested a couple of solutions that are trying to fill this gap.

Daniel Stanica ✅ @danielstanica.com · 28/03/2026
𝟰. Cybersecurity is no longer an add-on. DDoS mitigation, DNS security, and AI infrastructure resilience came up in almost every infrastructure conversation. The threat landscape is clearly accelerating, and providers who can't speak credibly to security are losing deals.
100
Daniel Stanica ✅ @danielstanica.com · 28/03/2026
𝟯. European cloud alternatives are gaining serious ground. I noticed a real increase in European-based providers positioning as credible local alternatives to the hyperscalers, driven by regulatory pressure and growing appetite for infrastructure independence.

Daniel Stanica ✅ @danielstanica.com · 28/03/2026
𝟮. Private LLMs and data sovereignty are now product categories. Dedicated solutions for on-premise AI, sovereignty-compliant deployments, and GPU-optimised hosting infrastructure for AI workloads took the centre stage.

Daniel Stanica ✅ @danielstanica.com · 28/03/2026
𝟭. AI has moved past the MVP phase. Last year, it was still presentations and prototypes. This year, hardware and software providers are showing up with real case studies and deployment numbers. Buyer conversations are finally grounded in evidence, not hype.
